For an ale that packs a wallop of 8.2% this scotch is smooth and delicious. Poured dark it ends with almost a white wine after taste. I've had two versions of this, one back in '02 then again in '04, both were good but the prior is the one that sticks in my mind. I can't help but recommend stopping into Davidson Brothers in Glens Falls and trying it out for yourself.

Pouring a cellar temp 22 oz bottle into a snifter.
The beer pours a clear mahogany color with fluffy cream colored head of 3 cm that fades to a thin edge layer slowly after the pour.
Aroma is sweet and malty with caramel and some dark fruit. Maybe a bit of vanilla, but the booze is well hidden.
First sip reveals a silky smooth texture with a slightly chewy texture with very fine and spacious carbonation.
Flavor is malty with caramel and toffee some brown sugar and molassess. No hops anywhere on this one. Very sweet maybe a little bit of vanilla too. I get just a little bit of booze. The 22 oz goes down very easy and I find this beer enjoyable. I would try it again and actually wish I had a second bottle. A very nice malty beer with a bit of booze that kicks in by the time I finish the bottle.
